on a gas fixture but it is desired to use the same in conjunction with a Wall gas fixture or, a lamp placed inproximity to the Wall p a 7 5 Where it is not desired to use the bracket Y the wall 'which,-willxl1old the supporting bracket in the proper position for supportfixture having its supply pipe-26 positioned on'the outside of the wall, the socket 4: will register with the supply pipe and permit the feet to rest upon the wall. The feet resting upon the wall will reduce to a mi1 1 imum the; likelihood of the bracket swinging on the axis of its upright 3 while the socket registering with the pipe will prevent a sidewise or pendulum of the bracket-from its hook. I I

From the foregoing it will be seen. that I have provided a receptacle supporting. bracket which may be utilized with gas fixt-ures of different styles orfwhich can be used where gas fixtures do not exist, thus making it applicable for farm or country use as wellas city use. I

In Figs. 3 to 6' I have shown the bracket provided with an adjustable extension member and in this case the eye 9 is preferably set at an angle to the reachv so that when theadjustable extension member 15 is in place it will practically coincide with said reach. This adjustable extension member is also made of wirebent and suitably coiled upon itself to form a body 16 having notches or recesses 17 formed therein for" registration with a portion of the eye 9to hold'it against accidental displacement after the desired adjustment is obtained. At one end of thebody is formed an eye 18 to receive the'hanger 11 and at the other end are formed the spaced fingers 19 adapted to straddle the reach ,8 as plainlyshown in Fig 6 which prevents the weighton the outer end of the extension member from displacing the inner end of the extension member.

" This form of supporting bracketmay be used with different gas fixtureshaving the burners different .distances from -the upright portion there'of as said extension member can be moved inward until the eye, 18

thereof is 1 approximately in the same position as the eye 9 or it may be moved out practically the entire length thereof.

' The form of bracketillustrated in Figs. 7 and 8 is particularlyadapted for us'e'with wall gas fixtures or with lamps" and comprisesan upright 20 having a relatively wide coil21"alj its, lower erill to act as a l base for engagementwith "a wall or other similar flat surfaced object, 'whilefrom the its outer end for the reception of the "hanger 25,sai(l outer end of the reach besupported by the strut 26 projecting between said reach' and the lower end. of the upright and all of these parts with'the exception of the hanger 25 are formed from a single piece of wire bent and coiled back and forthupon the different strands v as will be obvious.

Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction as herein shown as these may be varied within the limits of the appended claims Without departing from the spirit'of my, invention. I f

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is [1. Ina device of the character stated, an upright having a socket l at its lower. end which opens out or away from said up right, feet formed with said socket, a second socket at the upperend of the upright opening inward to-wardthe upright or in opposition-to the first mentioned socket, a

reach projecting from then per end vof'the I upright, a strut connecting'lthe lower end of the upright with thejouter end of'the reach, aneye formed atthejunc'tion of the reach and strut. and a hanger connected thereto. I x v v 2.111 a device of the character stated, an

upright having a socketflat its lower end which opens out or away from saidupri'ght,

feet formed with said socket, a second socket at the upper endof the upright opening inward toward the upright :or' inopposition to the first mentionedsocket, a' reach projecting from the upper 'end of the upright, a strut connecting the lower end of. the'upright with the outer end ofthereach, an eye formed at the junction'of ,the reach and strut, an adjustable extension member consisting of a body having notches therein,

an eye formed'at one end'of the body, a

pair of spaced finge'rs formed the'o-ppo site end ofsaid body, said extension member passing through the eye at the junction of the reach and strut with the spaced fingers straddling saidr'each, and a hanger .at-

tached to the eye on the body.

In testimony whereof, affixed my signature.
